Bring festive charm to your embroidery projects with this adorable Christmas Tree In-the-Hoop Embroidery Design! This simple yet elegant design features a clean tree outline decorated with red swirl garlands and green dot ornaments—perfect for adding a touch of holiday cheer to any fabric item.

This design is ideal for quick stitching, perfect for gift tags, ornaments, napkins, tote bags, or kitchen towels. It’s a great choice for both beginners and seasoned embroiderers looking for a modern minimalist Christmas touch.

1) Run the first placement stitch.
Let your embroidery machine stitch the placement outline for the ornament.

2) (Optional) Add foam for thickness.
Place a layer of foam over the placement stitch to make your ornament thicker and sturdier. If you prefer not to use foam, simply skip this step or let the machine run through.

3) Trim the excess foam.
Use small scissors to carefully remove any remaining foam outside the stitch line.

4) Add your top material.
Place a layer of fabric, felt, or leather on top of the foam and continue to the next step.

5) Stitch the design details.
Run the next sequence to stitch the Christmas tree details.

6) Prepare the back.
When the front is complete, remove the hoop (do not unhoop the stabilizer).
Spray a light layer of temporary adhesive on the back, place a ribbon loop for hanging, and secure a second piece of the same material on the back.

7) Finish the stitching.
Return the hoop to your machine and let the final sequence run to stitch the front and back together.

8) Trim and finish.
Remove the project from the hoop and carefully trim around the edges.
Optional: Use a lighter to gently seal the edges for a clean finish.
